Thank you, Mr. Blois, for keeping your promise.
Thanks to all of you for being here.
I have met you a number of times.
My first question is for the dairy processors. I know that you're asking for an investment fund. One of the concerns I have is that.... I know that some processors have operations in the U.S. and other countries. Given that CUSMA will come online, one of the things I would have to make sure of, because I am accountable to some processors back home, and especially dairy farmers, is that I wouldn't want to subsidize shifting production to the U.S. or other countries. Obviously, Canadians would be mad at us.
How do you think we could ensure that doesn't necessarily happen? For instance, supply chain integration with the U.S. and Canada could be a particular model that we could see. Are there any guarantees that you can give me here at committee that you would ensure that this is just spent in Canada and only for Canada?
